Tuesday, May 15, 2007. Since most of my favorite bulbs are too tender for my garden and would probably die over the winter here in Chicago I need to be able to plant them and later find them. The problem is that once fall comes around I sometimes forget about where I placed them. This year I have been using things like this strawberry basket from the grocery store. Links to this post.

Sunday, November 18, 2007. Bulb Planting Hack Update. Back in May I wrote " Bulb Planting Hack. And posted about an experiment I was going to try out when planting tender bulbs in my garden that had to be dug up in the winter. The idea is really simple and I'm sure had been thought of by many gardeners before and I wish it would have occurred sooner to me. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, February 10, 2007. If you have an Amaryllis you can easily hack it to produce seeds which you can then sow and produce even more plants that you can share with others, keep for yourself or sell. Look at the image on the right. The stamen is the slender white stalk that's holding up the anther. The anther is the sack that holds the pollen. These are considered the male parts of a flower. This usually matures before the stigma. Do you have more than one Amaryllis? A blog devoted to growing Amaryl...

Saturday, March 3, 2007. I've found myself throwing away a lot of these instant soup cups lately because we have guests and they eat these like crazy. It's not unusual to throw away 10 or more of these cups in one day around here. The other day as I was taking out the garbage and they kept falling out of the bag and it dawned on me that these sturdy cups have a use for gardening. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, February 21, 2007. In a previous entry about Amaryllis pollination. I think I promised an update on what the seed pods would look like when the pollination was successful. Notice how green and plump the seed pod on the right is compared to the one on the left. The one on the left didn't take even though it was self-pollinated just like the one on the right. Here's a video I made showing you how to pot an Amaryllis Bulb. And one showing you how to pollinate an Amaryllis flower. You can provide ...

Garden Hacker: Rooting Sweet Potato Vine Cuttings
http://gardenhacker.blogspot.com/2007/11/rooting-sweet-potato-vine-cuttings.html
Friday, November 16, 2007. Rooting Sweet Potato Vine Cuttings. This spring I bought some Ipomoea batatas 'blackie' plants for my container garden and have decided to store the tubers and take some cuttings to try to root the cuttings indoors for next spring. Ipomoea batatas is better known as sweet potato vine or ornamental sweet potato and are related to morning glories and the sweet potato vine flower. See photo at link) has a remarkable resemblance to the morning glories you may have in your garden.

Monday, March 26, 2007. This weekend my seed pod on my Amaryllis split open and I was able to collect the seeds. As you can see from the photos the seeds are very thin almost paper like and dark. Amaryllis seeds always remind me of Hosta seeds and from my experience they're very easy to germinate. If you're interested in propagating your Amaryllis or pollinating your Amaryllis you can see this entry on Amaryllis pollination. Here's a video I made showing you how to pot an Amaryllis Bulb.
